chw42 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Just now, Chicago White Sox said: Wow, massive steal Yeah he's only 29 and he's been a solid all star starter the past 2 years. It's a very good deal for the Padres. I think he could have gotten 5 and 120 on the open market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 (edited) Musgrove's hometown is SD, fwiw. Also Padres are/were going to have Manaea going into FA with Gore likely out for 2023. Makes deGrom and Rodon the top two FA pitchers this offseason. $83+ million deals for Myers, Hosmer, Machado, Tatis, Musgrove now. Took on Darvish deal with $59 million remaining out of $126 million from original Cubs' FA deal. Edited July 30, 2022 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waddle and Silvy brought up a good point, how the hell are the Padres spending more to get top guys than the White Sox? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they had one year they spent a boatload maybe five years ago going way way way over intl bonus pool limit to load up their farm system with prospects. https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/business/growth-development/story/2020-09-23/in-bid-for-tailgate-park-padres-beat-brookfield-with-1-4b-office-focused-proposal $1.4 billion Tailgate Park development project like Ricketts around Wrigleyville. Taylor Rogers a FA too. He has been disappointing. 7 blown saves with 28 converted. Should be 13-15 games over .500, but have Tatis and at least one big bat coming in the next week or so..

GreenSox Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 All trade inquiries should be halted. It's all lipstick on an old sow. Tonight was a disgrace. The worst thing they could do is trade for a 2-year player that will cost real prospects. The next worse thing is to waste 2nd tier prospects to rent more old guys. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Parkman Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 (edited) @Y2Jimmy0 Why should the Sox be buyers? Please explain it to me. I don't get it. I know they're not going to sell but they should stand pat or add only a lefty reliever. Edited July 30, 2022 by Jack Parkman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southwest Sider Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Indeed, I dont even see Juan Soto or Ohtani turning this dumpster fire around. It's like they try to lose at home. Theres nothing there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hi8is Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Too bad they can’t fire Tony and Frank… seems like that would spark a huge flame under their asses. Send Boston packing finally too… the fucking bum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maloney.adam Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 They should trade LaRussa and Menechino at the deadline. That would be fantastic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From an asset perspective, this explains a bit of the gap, but the Sox have done pretty great internationally as well. I keep hearing how weak our system is, but we do have Cespedes, Colas, Colson in the farm and a lot of guys who barely came up. From a monetary perspective, makes no sense how the Padres beat the Sox out financially for Machado other than Jerry being cheap. The Padres essentially did what the White Sox were supposed to do. Spend big while your best guys were cheap. For Waddle and Silvy (who are not even Sox fans) as well as Jesse Rogers to flat out call them out for just being purely cheap, that's pretty awful. You have a 23 year old superstar out there and you're not even going to attempt to make a trade. It's disgusting. Even if you don't plan on saving this season, he's a guy who can help you for the next 10 years at least as well as move some merch. It's saddening to see, because if you're not going to do it for Soto, you're literally not going to do it for anyone. As far as what they should do (aside from actually going after a star), blow it up. I think Grandal could get you a mid level prospect back and you clear some cash. Teams are looking at C including the Padres. Graveman should be gone. Liam, IMO, should be gone. Moncada, I think I would get rid of as well. Giolito could probably still fetch you something (though not as great as last year before stickum was removed). And Abreu, just to let him compete for a ring. Poor guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Middle of the pack with catching. Hosmer (great start and then 26th in OPS since) and Voit have just been so so… They will first look at Josh Bell, Ohtani and Soto. Most likely is going after Happ/Contreras/Robertson as a combined package, as they need all three to be able to legitimately compete with the Dodgers. Might also at least dip into the Montas pool.
